When Jessa woke the next morning, she was laying on her back. She rubbed her eyes and shook her head to clear away the sleep. After she stretched her arms over her head, she sat up and started moving around her apartment to begin her day. She started her coffee then brushed her teeth and showered. She needed to take her earnings from the night before to the bank. She finally had enough to pay all her bills that month and start the testing for the GED. Her plan, taking all the sections of the GED test, pass it, then enroll in college. She would still have to dance until she graduated but at least she had a plan and would soon be in college.
Jessa threw on a pair of dark grey, draw string pants and a tight fitting, long sleeve light blue shirt. She threw her hair up into two messy buns at the back of her head, and grabbed her messenger bag. She walked out of her apartment, locked the door then started her day. For the first time in a long time, Jessa felt happy. She had been grabbing as many shifts at the club as she could and never before had she been able to pay all her bills at once like she planned on doing today. Her apartment was small but her rent was almost eight hundred dollars a month, plus she had to pay all her utilities and she paid for her own healthcare.
After she stopped off at the bank and made her depost, she went to a hole in the wall coffee shop and ordered herself more coffee and a banana nut muffin. She took a seat by the window and pulled out her notebook and all her bills. As she paid everything she needed to pay and recorded the payments down, more relief shot through her. Her savings account was healthly, her check account was good and life was looking up.
" What the hell?" Jessa's head shot up at the sound of the familiar, quiet voice. Her pen dropped from her hand to land on the sheet of paper as she sat back. " Are you following me?" Scud asked with a smirk.
" I was here first." She said. Scud pulled out the chair that was across from her and sat down. "Please tell me you aren't following me."
" I'm not. I always come here in the morning for my coffee. I come here, then hit up the gas station around the corner for Krispy Kreme donuts." Scud said. Jessa narrowed her eyes down, clearly not believing what he was saying. " You look cute in your little glasses." He said with a grin. Despite her worries about him following her, she laughed. She pulled off her black, wire framed glasses and set them on her notebook.
" I wear them to read and write." Jessa said.
" Here Scud," She looked up at the young man that had waited on her. " I saw you come in and got your coffee ready."
" Thanks, Sam." Scud reached into his pocket, pulled out a small bag and handed it up to the man, never taking his eyes from Jessa's face.
" Thanks, Man." Sam pocketed the bag and walked away with Jessa shaking her head.
" Did you just pay for your coffee with pot?" She asked, making Scud grin and chuckle.
" Yeah. You smoke?" He asked, snatching up his coffee.
" Sometimes. You deal?" Jessa asked.
" Not really. I trade goods." He said, making her laugh out loud.
" Trade goods?" She asked, making him nod and smile.
" Yeah, you know, Sam gives me coffee, I give him pot. You give me a few kisses, I give you a few orgasms." Scud said. She shook her head and brought her coffee cup up to her lips.
" You're crazy." She said.
" Only for you, Babe, only for you. So, now we are having coffee, even though you ditched me the other day, what would you think if I skipped my donuts and share your muffin with you?" Scud asked, leaning forward with his arms on the table top. Her eyebrows raised up as she smirked.
" Share my muffin with you?" She asked.
" Oh yeah. I'd love it if you'd share it with me. And I can promise, you wouldn't not regret it. I have been told that I can eat the hell out of a muffin." Scud said with a grin, again making her laugh as she held her coffee cup in both hands by her chest.
" I actually don't doubt that at all." Jessa said.
" Then come on, Baby, share that muffin with me." Jessa tilted her head and took in his smirking face. Slowly she set her cup down and leaned forward against the table. Her arms circled her muffin as her hands linked together.
" You are too much, you know that?" She asked but she pulled back and began peeling the wrapping off her muffin.
" Yeah, I been told that, too." He said, still smirking.
" And why do I think you are referring to your dick?" She asked, starting to break the muffin in half. It was Scud's turn to laugh.
" I like that YOU are thinking about my dick." He said. Jessa laughed and shook her head.
" You know, I actually really enjoy your company." She said, passing over his half of her breakfast.
" Thanks, for the breakfast and the compliment." He said. As he took the soft treat, he made sure to touch her fingers because he hardly ever got to touch her with his hands. It wasn't allowed at the club.
" So what are you doing out this early? I thought you worked nights." Jessa said, breaking off a piece and popping it into her mouth.
" I don't need a lot of sleep. You?" Scud asked.
" I have a lot of shit to do today." She said.
" Yeah? Me too. Should we do them together?" He asked. Jessa shook her head. She did not want him to know she was going to sign up to take her GED. No one but her boss knew about her past. She was embarrassed that she was a drop out. " Oh I see how it is. You can share your muffin with me and think about my dick, but you don't want to do any other shit with me?" He teased.
" That's right." She said, making him grin.
" I'll take what I can get than." Scud said.
They spent the rest of the morning talking at the little coffee shop and laughing. Jessa felt almost normal. She was having a real conversation with a guy without him making a payment. She didn't have to pretend everything he said was funny because Scud actually was funny. She knew Scud wanted her but he was actually looking at her face while they talked. Sure, his eyes would slip to her lips and her tits sometimes but that was how it was with guys. At the club, most guys only stared at her tits or her ass or between her legs. They almost never looked at her face.
" Well, Scud, this has been fun but I really need to get things done." She said.
" Why don't you let me give you a ride?" Scud said, standing as she did.
" No, that's okay. I don't want to drain your gas." Jessa said.
" Still don't trust me, do you?" He asked, making her laugh.
" It's not that. I just have a lot to do." She said.
" Alright, well maybe I will be able to stop by tonight before work." Scud put his hands in the pockets of his baggy pants. She smiled why he shifted in his red sneakers. Always in those red sneakers.
" You do that and I will give you a free dance for being so nice to me today." She said. Scud stood up straight while his face brighten.
" Yeah?" He asked.
" Yeah. You just tell John I said, Roses are red. It will be our sign that your dance is free. I don't want the other guys to hear I am giving out stuff." Jessa said. " And if you can't make it tonight, you can have it the next time you come in."
" Oh no, I'm coming in." He said with his voice laced in excitement.
And he didn't disappoint. He came early and sat in the crowd while she danced on the stage, something he hardly ever did since he first started coming to the club. He usually only came for her private dances and knowing he was out there, she almost felt embarrassed. She closed her eyes while she spun around the pole and tried hard to not look at him when they were open.
After her stage dance ended, he went to her private room with the same drink he always bought her. She straddled his lap with her back against his chest and grinded in the slow way he liked. She watched as his hands tighten on the chair arms, like he always did to keep from touching her. Under her, his hips twisted and started to thrust. She felt his body tense as he fought to control himself. Against her better judgement, against her own rules, she took his hands, one at a time, and placed them on her hips. The second Scud came in contact with her body, he almost hissed. His head went back in the chair, his eyes shut and his mouth opened.
Jessa looped one arm around his neck. Her hand traveled into his hair. She tugged his head down and kissed him before she could stop herself. He groaned into her mouth while his left hand went across her body to her hair. He shoved as much of his tongue into her mouth as he could. Her own tongue flowed over his to twist in the time with her hip movement. They made out as deep as they could, as slow as they could until a loud knocking came to her door. She yanked her mouth from his and looked at him with wide eyes.
" I'm sorry." She whispered as her hand slipped from his hair.
" Don't go." Scud pulled her head down to kiss her again but she shook her head and smiled.
" Time's up, Scud. You have to go." She whispered. She felt his shoulders slump down.
" You have to be kidding me." He whispered, closing his eyes. Jessa forced herself up and off him, turning to face him with a shaky breath.
" Have a good night." She said, backing away from him.
He was the only man who came to see her that turned her on so bad that he stayed on her mind for days afterwards. As Jessa disappeared out of her room, her heart was in her throat and his kiss was still on her lips. She closed her eyes and leaned against the door. What the hell did she just do? Why did she kiss him? She shook her head and brought her fingers to her lips. Because she wanted him. As she touched her bottom lip and tasted his taste, she had to admit to herself, she wanted him right between her legs and her solo play with him as the star was not going to be enough for her soon.
